Provision of Stepped Care Mental Health Services – North East
Tender ID: 330430
Tender Details
Tender Description
Eastern Melbourne PHN (EMPHN) is implementing the ‘stepped care’ model for primary mental health care across the catchment and this will be phased over an 18-month time-period. The first phase of the ‘stepped care’ model will be in the areas of City of Whittlesea, Shire of Nillumbik, City of Banyule and parts of the Shires of Mitchel and Murrindindi. The ‘stepped care’ model will be most effective when service providers are integrated and connected.
On this basis, EMPHN is seeking to engage with one or more organisations to deliver the Service (the ‘Service Provider/s’) and therefore should not be limited in approach by LGAs as they must be able to effectively straddle equity of access and equitable distribution of resources. EMPHN is seeking a shift in a response for clients along a continuum of acuity. This will, by default, call for a shift in the design of services and how practices and new modalities are delivered.
EMPHN is seeking a Service Provider/s to deliver a whole of service model for stepped care.
The successful Service Provider/s will be contracted from January 2018 until 30 June 2019. This commencement date will take into consideration a ‘service establishment period’, with the Services to ‘go live’ and be delivered from January 2018 through to 30 June 2019 (subject to confirmation of funding from the Commonwealth Department of Health).
This RFT will require tenderers to lodge their responses in two parts:

(ii) The second is the remaining component of the Tender Response
Only Tenderers who meet the pre-qualification requirements set by EMPHN may submit the remaining component of the Tender Response. Please ensure you read all parts of the RFT to understand the process for lodging a response.
